Hes a damn good fighter, and talented as hell. But he has no killer instinct, he does exactly what i said he does....fights not to lose
GSP has too much riding on him being champion to take risks and lose. It just shows how good he is that he can win all these boring fights and make his competition look terrible and take them out of their game so much.
I try and go to bars when he fights because he's a waste of money to watch on PPV

don't forget Cote. Leites didn't even deserve to be in the ring with him

Silva did a lot of damage to Cote, but he just couldn't put him away. Cote also fucked his knee up in the 2nd or 3rd round too I believe.

HAHA true. I think silva will spank Okami, i hear silva doesn't like him so he'll want to make him look stupid. Also want to see him knock GSP out, but i bet GSP will be out a while with the eye injury

Silva doesn't respect Okami due to how Okami won their fight. Silva has also come out and said that he's not motivated for this fight.

He did not make Shields look terrible. He out struck him by 7 and Shields did way more damage to GSP than GSP did to Shields. GSP was the one who ended up in the hospital, that fight was way closer than the judges scored it.

Didn't two of the judges score it 48-47?

Maybe I should have said that it was closer than most people viewed it. All i've been reading is how GSP was dominate, I was much more impressed with Shields.

I think that Machida crane kick may have been the best knockout in UFC history, unbelievable!!!!!!

Cannot wait for Rampage to fight. I think 130 will have more exciting fights than 129

I usually enjoy watching Rampage fight. How does everyone think the Hamill fight will go down?

Hamill's striking has greatly improved and of course he has great wrestling. I have heard folks say Rampage will destroy Hamill, I am not onboard with that. Hamill if he avoids the big blow might win this fight via wrestling. This is an interesting fight.

GSP dominated Shields. I was not impressed with Shields at all. He did NOTHING to make GSP alter his game plan. GSP won all 5 rounds by controlling the fight for about 24 and a half minutes.

Silva could not stop GSP from taking him down, that is a fact. Now, Silva has a chance at submitting him.
I guarantee that if that fight ever happens 90% of the fight will be on the ground.

I agree HB and yeah Jmog I know that Silva wouldn't be able to stop GSP from taking him down. I just think Spider would knock him or submit him.

Please Dana let Nick Diaz have GSP, he will knock him out and get rid of the boring "safe" fighter". I can't believe this fight didnt hit the ground for more than 30 seconds, I know Shields' gameplan could not have been to stand all 5 rounds with GSP. That Machida karate kid kick was unbelievable, perfect technique. I literally jumped out of my seat. The Aldo-Homineck fight was a far, one of the better fights i've seen in a long time, Aldo's head movement and explosiveness is crazy, and MH is tough as hell.
If you think GSP would stand toe to toe with a good striker, you haven't watched him since Matt Serra KO'd him.
Nate Diaz would be on his back the whole fight and would have to submit him to win. Very possible, but not likely.
